We would recommend the construction of curb and gutter in Highway 183 frontage and any necessary underground drainage facilities which are necessary for this improvement. 2. The extension of Debra Drive into Highway 183 is of consider- ale aeneern. We feel there would be a strong tendency to use t!-is street as a secondary thoroughfare if the outlet is provided . Obviously the street pattern would not anticipate tow three eh traffic on Debra and we are of the opinion that through traffic would be undesirable."
